A quick nutrition and fuel stop at Glenrowan McDonalds had us over the border before you all had had your cornflakes. The tension is easier to control, and there is more traction created by the force of the drive wheel, which allows heavier, bulky yarns to wind onto the bobbin.Any day starting at 4am can only be so good, but aside from Snowy being late - we set off in convoy without a hitch. Bobbin lead wheels are a good choice for a beginner spinner.
It has an adjustable sleeve that can be tighten or loosened, to control the speed of the flyer. There is a single leather brake band that lays across the end of the flyer. The drive band goes around the drive wheel and one of the bobbin whorls. The whorls are located on the bobbin instead of the flyer. The Louet spinning wheel is a good example of a bobbin lead wheel. Because of the high degree of twisting efficiency, beginners who have a problem with overtwisting the yarn, will find the double drive wheel difficult to use at first. The bobbin whorl is smaller in diameter than the flyer whorl, therefore, it will spin faster than the flyer if there is no brake being used. When spinning, both the flyer and the bobbin are rotated by the drive band. The spinner decides where the drive band is placed on the whorl depending upon the type of yarn to be spun. The drive band is doubled and forms a figure eight that loops onto both the bobbin and the flyer whorl. This type of wheel has the flyer whorl and bobbin next to one another on the same side of the spindle. You will be able to spin a variety of yarn types soft, lumpy, novelty, etc. The tension on the flyer and bobbin can be set at separate speeds, which provides numerous adjustment levels for the beginner. The Scotch Tension brake system is easier for beginners to operate and understand. Single drive wheels are the best choice for beginning handspinners. Increased tension on the brake will cause the yarn to pull from your hands and to wind quickly onto the bobbin. There is usually a separate brake on the bobbin using an adjustable brake band or a tension wire (The Scotch Tension brake system), for the purpose of regulating the speed by which the yarn winds onto the bobbin.When spinning, a brake is used to hold the bobbin still while the flyer continues to rotate.
This type of wheel has one drive band around the flyer wheel and the flyer whorl. The longer the yarn is held before letting it wind onto the bobbin, the more twist it will receive.
One revolution of the flyer puts one twist into the yarn. The fiber is twisted as the flyer rotates and the spinner holds the yarn. On single drive wheels the bobbin has a separate brake to control its speed. On double drive wheels, the bobbin is rotated by its own pulley. The flyer has a row of hooks on one or both sides of the U-shaped arms to guide the yarn onto the bobbin evenly. It has 2-3 different pulley sizes which controls the speed of the flyer. The spindle whorl is either on the flyer or attached to the spindle. The spindle and the drive wheel are rotated by a drive band.
